Chance of a Life Time

“We’ve got to get are heads in the game”. Said, coach plank.

“Yes sir, we all say”.


“You should all have a little rumble in your stomachs” coach plank said in the huddle.


“We’ve got to beat them up from the beginning,” we’ve got to come out with our A game” Coach said.


We’re in Savannah, Missouri and; we were staying at the Holiday Inn. It had a pool, steam room, and a hot tub. We pulled up to the hotel after the first game against the Plate County Pirates, my friends Colton, Bret, Andrew and I were the captains for the game. We shook hands, and then flipped the coin; Bret called it in the air, he called heads.


It was tails we had to kick off. Our defense stopped them all game It was twenty to zero, we were ahead. All of the scoring was done by the second half. Their offence didn’t score in the second half either. The score was still twenty to nothing at the end of the game.


We went back to the Hotel to take showers and then we went out to eat at 54th Street. Chooch, Colton, Taco, and Conner came with Me. Chooch, Taco, Conner, and I got a Cesar salad, stuffed baked potato, and a nine ounce steak. Colton got a bacon and cheese slider. After that we went back and coach made us watch the game film with the whole team. Then we swam in the pool for only 45 minutes because coach made us get out so that we weren’t tired for the game the next day against Marysville. The next day we got up and ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Then we went to the fields we won the game against Marysville. We beat them twenty one to eight we were in the championship. After that we watched Olathe South beat the Bengals 21 to nothing. That means that we got to face our rivals. From are own league and they have beat us every year. The only time we play them is in the championship every year. Every year we get closer to beating them. We lost by eighteen. After we lost we went to get our medals. After the tournament we went and ate at Perkins. The next day I was really sore.


The way this tournament impacted my life was I know I got to experience something that most people don’t get to experience.
